Spring Diet Begins

I seriously can not believe it is snowing outside, again! Tonight officially marks the first day of spring and I can not wait! In preperation for spring Michael and I started our "spring into shape" transformation. I was going to start on Monday but I figured why wait? Let's do this (I have the home depot voice in my head.) What does all this mean? Well, my "did you eat" posts will be few. When we get ready for summer I basically restrict Michael and I from food. I am joking of course, but we will live on grilled fish or chicken over salads for dinner regularly. Today I had a decent lunch so I will probably make us green smoothies for dinner. Nutrition is 80% of weight loss my trainer once told me. Why would he lie about fitness being 20% when I was paying him money to work out. Last spring when I was still taking off my Jack baby weight I followed the eat breakfast like a king and dinner like a pauper approach and I truly felt better. I woke excited to eat breakfast and get my metabolism started. Every morning I would go for a run, drink a glass of lemon water, and have a big breakfast. I would drink a green smoothie and have a bowl of kashi or steel cut oatmeal.  But with this ugly winter and lack of cardio I really need to push myself and get these 10-15lbs off before summer.

My goal: 8 weeks good nutrition and exersise. Hope to lose 10lbs.

New additions to my weight loss journey: Matcha Tea --- After my lemon water I am going to add a cup of Matcha green to help kick start my metabolism. Matcha tea is like the super man of the green teas. Matcha benefits.
I am also going to try ( I will update on whether this is worth it or not) drinking an 8oz cup of decaf green tea before bed. I had read somewhere this will help cleanse the body during sleep. This might have been a Dr. Oz thing, I am really not positive. I have no idea if this is true or not. Also I have a hard enough time falling asleep so with even decaf I am not sure I will be able to do this.

Diet Plan: Breakfast like king, lunch like a queen, dinner like a pauper. Absolutely NO eating after 7pm. Who am I kidding, but there will be cocktails! (please save all judgement... )

Exercise: I am going to commit to 3x/week. For right now that is all I can do. I am hoping to bump that up to 4x/week after I get a good handle on eating better.

I really would like to wear this Trina Turk one piece .
